Trump boasts about his mobility at rally: ‘I can go ramp, I can go stair’
Trump brushed off age concerns by pointing to his ease on stage, as tepid applause followed his remarks at the Texas campaign rally.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the Peterbilt Motors manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas, where the 80-year-old president boasted about his physical mobility, claiming he could 'go ramp' or 'go stair.'
Trump frequently compares his physical prowess to President Joe Biden, repeatedly mocking Biden's ability to navigate stairs by declaring, 'Look, I can go ramp, I can go stair, I can go another stair. I have a stair.'
Critics mocked the president's posture after a viral photo showed his leg twisted at an odd angle; Trump also revisited criticism of former President Barack Obama, mimicking him: 'He'd go down the stairs, wouldn't hold on.'
A national Strength in Numbers/Verasight poll conducted in July found 46 percent of respondents rated Trump's mental sharpness as 'poor,' mirroring public perception of Biden's mental health.
Ahead of the midterm elections, Trump campaigned in Texas to support Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton, urging voters to back the candidate despite stating Paxton can be 'a pain in the ass sometimes.
Donald Trump stopped in Texas on his campaign tour in front of the Midterms. There he gave a speech in which he once again mocked Joe Biden and his problems with stairs. He himself bragged about even passing a ramp without tripping. That caused mocking reactions.
